Ashley Roberts looks incredible as she strips down to sexy bikinis on holiday in Madeira
ASHLEY Roberts posed for some stylish photos on her summer holiday in Portugal.
The Pussycat Doll had been soaking up the sun with former dance pro Janette Manrara in Mykonos and is now holidaying in Madeira.
Ashley, 39, wore a risque black bikini with sheer cutouts as she posed on a set of white steps leading into a cliff cave.
In another shot the star is leaning back on some rocks in colourful camo bikini and retro sunglasses as she looks off into the distance.
Ashley is then seen climbing a ladder onto a yacht and smiling in floral print bikini.
“Tropic like it’s hot,” she captioned the series of photos on Instagram, which left many of her celeb friends hot under the collar.
“Jesus woman 😍,” wrote Vicky Pattison.
Michelle Visage added: “THAT’S gonna leave some tan lines 😋”
And Zoe Hardman commented: “I mean holy sh**bags 🔥😍😍😍😍.”
The Phoenix-born singer looks barely a day older than the girl who burst on to the music scene in 2005 with the Pussycat Dolls.
The former burlesque group’s single Don’t Cha was an instant UK No.1 and the girls, including lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and Ashley’s best friend Kimberly Wyatt (who she refers to as her “sister”) became global stars.
They toured the world, supported by then up-and-coming musicians Lady Gaga and Rihanna, and their sexually confident brand of pop inspired a raft of future female artists.
Looking back, Ashley says it’s hard to pinpoint her best decade.
“Ooh! You know what? They’ve all been memorable in different ways. In some good ways in some bad ways,” she told The Sun, adding that life has, at times, been “a bumpy ride”.
Since the PCDs disbanded in 2010, Ashley has scaled solo success with relative ease and is now settled in the UK, where broadcasting bosses adore her.
She has since starred in a West End run of the Waitress musical and currently presents showbiz news on the Heart FM Breakfast show, alongside hosts Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, who she affectionately dubs her “Heart fam”.
Over the years, Ashley has been linked to everyone from Prince Harry to Joey Essex – all speculation, she has previously insisted. What was very real, though, was her relationship with Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice, 30, who she began dating after the end of the 2018 series, which she competed in.
For a year, they seemed blissfully loved-up, but last January via social media, Giovanni announced they were over and pledged their intention to “remain friends”, although neither have spoken publicly about each other since.
“For me, I know what works and that’s really standing true in what I want, holding those boundaries and moving forward from there,” she says.
